This approach will be named: Adaptive Block Tangential Arnoldi Algorithm (ABTAA) and is based on interpolation via block tangential Krylov subspaces requiring the selection of shifts and tangent directions via an adaptive procedure. We give some algebraic properties and present some numerical examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The process is based on multipoint moment matching. Moreover, we develop new simple Lanczos-like equations for the rational block case, and we use them to derive simple residual error expressions. An adaptive method for choosing the interpolation points is also proposed. Finally, some numerical experiments are reported to show the effectiveness of the new adaptive modified rational block Lanczos (AMRBL) process when applied to stable linear LTI dynamical systems.

Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis, 2019

The global Lanczos method is a block method that can be applied to compute an approximation of the trace. When the block size is one, this method simplifies to the standard Lanczos method. It is known that for some matrix functions and matrices, the extended Lanczos method, which uses subspaces with both positive and negative powers of A, can give faster convergence than the standard Lanczos method, which uses subspaces with nonnegative powers of A only. This suggests that it may be beneficial to use an extended global Lanczos method instead of the (standard) global Lanczos method. This paper describes an extended global Lanczos method and discusses properties of the associated Gauss-Laurent quadrature rules. Computed examples that illustrate the performance of the extended global Lanczos method are presented.

The unconstrained structure of the problem suggests that one can solve a constrained optimization problem by transforming the original unconstrained minimization problem to an equivalent constrained minimization one. An augmented Lagrangian method is developed to handle the constraints when the model is given with matrix variables, and an alternating direction method (ADM) is used to iteratively find solutions. The solutions of some sub-problems are belonging to subspaces generated by application of successive orthogonal projections onto a class of generalized matrix Krylov subspaces of increasing dimension.

To solve such a problem, we use an alternating direction method of multipliers to split our problem into two sub-problems. The novelty of our paper is in the use of the conditional gradient total variation method (CGTV) we have recently introduced. The second split- ting sub-problem is solved by transforming the obtained optimization problem to a general Sylvester matrix equation and then an orthogonal projection method is used to solve the obtained matrix equation. We give proof of the convergence of this method. Some numerical examples and applications to image restoration are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A titre d'exemple, la mécanique des fluides et solides conduit souvent à des problèmes de point-selle. Ces problèmes se présentent généralement par des équations aux dérivées partielles que nous linéarisons et discrétisons. Le problème linéaire obtenu est souvent mal conditionné. Le résoudre par des méthodes itératives standard n'est donc pas approprié. En plus, lorsque la taille du problème est grande, il est nécessaire de procéder par des méthodes de projections. Nous nous intéressons dans ce sujet de thèse à développer des méthodes numériques robustes et efficaces de résolution numérique de problèmes de point-selle. Nous appliquons les méthodes de Krylov avec des techniques de préconditionnement bien adaptées à la résolution de problèmes de point selle. L'efficacité de ces méthodes à été montrée dans les tests numériques.

The proposed methods consist in minimizing the average rank of the underlying tensor using its approximate function namely the tensor nuclear norm and then the recovered data will be obtained by using the total variation regularisation technique. We will adopt the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADM), using the tensor T-product, to solve the main optimization problems associated to the two algorithms. In the last section, we present some numerical experiments and comparisons with the most known image completion methods.

In this work, we propose the use of global extended-rational Arnoldi method for computing approximations of such expressions. The derived method projects the initial problem onto an global extended-rational Krylov subspace RK e m (A,V) = span({ m ∏ i=1 (A − s i I n) −1 V,. . ., (A − s 1 I n) −1 V,V , AV,. . ., A m−1 V }) of a low dimension. An adaptive procedure for the selection of shift parameters {s 1 ,. .. , s m } is given. The proposed method is also applied to solve parameter dependent systems. Numerical examples are presented to show the performance of the global extended-rational Arnoldi for these problems.

Our approach is based on two steps. Firstly, we apply the CP or HOSVD decomposition to the right-hand side tensor G. Secondly, we perform the well-known Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization for each coefficient matrix A (i) (i = 1,. .. , N) to obtain a reduced tensor least-squares minimization problem. This type of equations may appear in color image and video restorations as we described below. Some numerical tests are performed to show the effectiveness of our proposed method.

We also combine the Newton method and block Krylov subspace methods to get approximations of the desired minimal nonnegative solution. We give some theoretical results and report some numerical experiments for the well known transport equation.

E. Kilmer and C. D. Martin, Factorization strategies for third order tensors, Linear Algebra Appl., 435 (2011), pp. 641-658]. A t-product Arnoldi (t-Arnoldi) process is defined and applied to reduce a large-scale Tikhonov regularization problem for third order tensors to a problem of small size. The data may be represented by a laterally oriented matrix or a third order tensor, and the regularization operator is a third order tensor. The discrepancy principle is used to determine the regularization parameter and the number of steps of the t-Arnoldi process. Numerical examples compare results for several solution methods, and illustrate the potential superiority of solution methods that tensorize over solution methods that matricize linear discrete ill-posed problems for third order tensors.
